Joseph's

Joseph's is a café, bar and shop selling LGBTQIAPN+ goods, on Avenida Desembargador André da Rocha in Porto Alegre's Centro Histórico. It opened in 2020. In June 2025 it inaugurated an expanded space with a drag show by Jean Melgar and free coffee, timed to Pride on 28 June, according to Jornal do Comércio. It is mainly a daytime venue: coffee, snacks and drinks, with a retail corner for queer-themed products. The owners say it is open to allies and to people of every sexuality and gender, so the crowd is mixed rather than a nightlife scene. It suits a calm afternoon stop or an early drink before heading to the Cidade Baixa bars, about 15 minutes' walk south. Hours are not published in our sources, so check the venue's social media before going. The Centro Histórico is busy by day but empties out at night.
